Support to integration in education of migrant children and young adults

Summary

The general objective of the topic is to lead to more effective language learning for migrant children involving local stakeholders, including school, NGOs, local and regional authorities and migrant-led organisations.

This can be achieved through the following specific objectives:

  • providing adapted and balanced language reception/introduction classes for both children;
  • creating an inclusive school culture and maintaining and building on languages of migrant learners spoken at home
  • developing a favourable environment for migrants’ inclusion in non-formal and informal education.

Detailed Call Description

Proposals should include one or more of the following activities (non-exhaustive list):

  • activities to mobilise local support and build strong partnerships between key stakeholders, such as national and local authorities, local communities, sport education institutions, sport institutions, diasporas and foundations;
  • conferences and workshops to develop relevant methodology and exchanges of good practices on language learning for migrant children in formal, nonformal and informal education;
  • pilot projects and upscaling activities of good practices on language learning in formal, non-formal and informal education;
  • coaching, mentoring activities, and so called “buddy” system, with or without a linguistic component;
  • dissemination and network building among stakeholders;
  •  training on for example how language learning can be differentiated and more effective (depending on the needs and specificities of the migrants e.g. age, academic level, work-specific vocabulary) for stakeholders, like school staff, sport and culture local organisations;
  • activities related to the involvement of diaspora, particularly in the role of facilitator. These activities can include intermediary actors and cultural mediators (including knowledge building of migrant-led organisations);
  • activities directed at / involving migrant parents.

Taking into account the transnational aspect of the topic, actions could also foster joint activities between partners in different Member States, such as:

  • peer-to-peer learning between organisations;
  • activities to develop or adapt common tools and toolkits for effective language training in different environments and for different target groups (children/young adults/parents) on the basis of modern methods taking into consideration the wealth of existing material.
